My dear sisters!

” My dear friend, being single, like being married should be considered a very special and enjoyable time in the providence of God. It should not be considered a mere circumstance or a curse from which one should try desperately to flee.

Being single is a time to learn of God and of ourselves, a time to discover who we are in Christ, and to grow in Christlikeness. It is a time to be zealous for good works and involved in ministry to others.

Being single has a magic of its own that should be enjoyed in its time because once passed it may not return. There is nothing quite so sad as a woman now married who regrets what she could have been and done with her life while single. All was lost for the sake of hurrying to be married without consideration for the plan or work of God. Every season in life has a beauty and wonder of its own. My prayer for all single Christian women is that they might enjoy their time in spite of the lies of the world. That they might be demanding and not settle for anything less than the perfect will of God. That they might wait patiently on God who is the giver of every good and perfect gift. That they might be like Esther, using whatever time God deems necessary to make them beautiful on the inside and out.

-Charo & Paul Washer

“Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

- Julie Powell

But the point is –
Julia was so impressive, so instructive, so exhilarating, because she
was a woman, not a goddess.  Julia didn’t create armies of drones,
mindlessly equating her name with taste and muttering “It’s a Good
Thing” under their minty breath.  Instead she created feisty, buttery,
adventurous cooks, always diving in to the next possible disaster,
because goddammit, if Julia did it, so could we.

I look around and see my wonderful life
Almost perfect from the outside
In picture frames I see my beautiful wife
Always smiling
But on the inside, I can hear her saying…

“Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can’t
Don’t leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, what about us?

Show me you’re willing to fight
That I’m still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone”

I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes
They’re just children from the outside
I’m working hard, I tell myself they’ll be fine
They’re independent
But on the inside, I can hear them saying…

“Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can’t
Don’t leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, but what about us?

Show me you’re willing to fight
That I’m still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone”

So Father, give me the strength
To be everything I’m called to be
Oh, Father, show me the way
To lead them
Won’t You lead me?

To lead them with strong hands
To stand up when they can’t
Don’t want to leave them hungry for love,
Chasing things that I could give up

I’ll show them I’m willing to fight
And give them the best of my life
So we can call this our home
Lead me, ‘cause I can’t do this alone

Father, lead me, ‘cause I can’t do this alone

You Are Everything -Matthew West

See you Shining through…

These past few months.. I have been complaing a lot about serving Elementary… Today, I asked myself why I even started serving in the first place; I rewinded my memory, and was taken back to the first day I entered those doors to Elementary.

I came with such an enthusiastic and young heart. I came to love on His pure and beauitful children—the young ones He adores and loves. Time passed, I was struck with Life, and got lost in my own thoughts. I lost myself somewhere in the middle, and neglected Him in Elementary.

How foolish was I to think that serving Elementary was such a bothersome “duty.” I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t hard. It was. But.. today I was reminded of why I was sent there: To have the holy spirit use me to shower them with His love. Giggle. He really is perfect, huh?

Thanks God, for the reminder. I Hope to meet you tonight.
See you, Love.

Your creations are simply just breathtaking. I can’t wait to meet up with You, embrace You, and love on You, unconditionally… for eternity.

I am such a treasure in his eyes. He loves me, and sees me as a gift to the world.
or as someone put it earlier this morning, a gift to UCSD! hehe. I am so ready to conquer that school.
